Riders enter jumping Round B in 13-way tie for first

Riders take full advantage of the opportunity to start Friday’s final jumping rounds with a clean slate creating for a vicious fight for a spot on the podium.

Eric Lamaze of Canada remained the only rider to complete all three qualifying rounds with a clear score heading into Friday's round while U.S. rider Kent Farrington, Sweedish rider Peder Fredricson, and Dutch rider Maikel Can Der Vleuten tied for a close second with an accumulation of one penalty point. The top 35 riders from Wednesday's round advanced to Round A with an equal opportunity for individual glory. Ten riders took full advantage of the opportunity and joined Lamaze, Farrington, and Fredricson at the top of the leaderboard, creating a 13-way first place tie.

Riders with a penalty score of 4 or better will advance to Round B in a fight for individual glory. With the way the competition has been going, there is very little doubt that the finals will end in a jump-off to determine which riders will take home an individual Olympic title.
